About:
Spoiler: You just made the greatest Sketchers ad of all time
An ad that calls Skechers lame, a copycat, mentions that Skechers actually got sued for it, and mentions that Skechers are for people who don't know any better.
Yet they ARE more comfortable. @sepg5084
@sepg5084 I know people say sketchers are lame, but they sure as hell are comfy.
@sepg5084 Clearly the common people know that skechers are better than other over priced brands.
@sepg5084 Don't know any better? No. Don't know about the other shoes. Which aren't "better".
Why would I care about the other shoes if they're less comfortable? Sketchers are basically Ancient Rome: they copy others and beat them at their own game, improving on the original.
Ordinary people buy shoes for comforts. If they copy designs from other brands and make it more comfortable, that's a win for skechers.
Even the designs looks better specially for the uno ones
No that's illegal .. How come a illegal trade even wins ??
@GodBless0007 what's more illegal is scamming ppl with crazy prices for a less comfort shoe lol
@Intellectz-k3snobody's forcing you to buy it!
@LuisAnV364 me when i stuck in an Infinite Time Loop
Sketchers is out here copying homework AND somehow getting a better grade
😮😂🆗
Its precisely because they've copied everyone's homework that they've got the highest grade
Its unethical
Skechers mostly uses memory insoles which wears out in 4-6 months. And that's when you feel their cushioning is not great at all. That's why out of the box they feel more comfortable but in the long run they are meeeeh. Some of their new cushioning system is very good though.
They copy and improve it a little bit then sell them a lot cheaper, of course they win.
sketchers could really pop off if they change out their goofy ahh logo and focus on making nice pieces rather than anime collabs
I think the S looks alright on some
@Daniel-ld7xs A lot of younger people don’t wanna be associated with the Skechers brand for fashion reasons, if they got rid of the logo people would be willing to give the shoes a chance
@boomynotegive them 30 years and sketchers will be cool with the youth. Happens every time.
Yeah it'd be better if the S was in a different font and didn't stand out.
Or if they were just unbranded.
@boomynotein 2 years they'll be the hot trendy brand that kids love. It happened with champion and fila. It'll happen with skechers.
The main thing Skechers does better than other brands is the width of the toe box. They actually make foot shaped footwear...not quite at the level of barefoot shoes but a lot better than "real" shoe brands. The cushioning is just the icing on the comfort cake.
no, they do not. stop misleading. Skechers shoes are so obviously not "foot-shape"
@bubblegumtycoon2983 Actually you are misleading, Skechers are in most cases wider than usual shoes. I have a wide feet and I know the difference. I dont understand why are generally almost all brands doing shoes so narrow.
Skechers normal width shoes are more like other brands wide width shoes. I am very picky about my shoes and have wide feet. The last 10 years I've been buying New Balance wide width sneakers. I was very disappointed that the 2 or 3 styles from NB, I had been wearing for years, they discontinued last year.
Last week, I bought I finally bought a new pair (probably a year overdue). I started from scratch and tried on every brand. I like sneakers that have good cushioning, good arch support, with a high heel and are still light (also under $100- preferably under $70). I liked the Skechers width and cushioning but their heel didn't fit quite right for my feet, so I didn't end up getting them.
@SpiderETYup. Same here. I don't think I'v ever fit into a single adidas or puma without my toes getting destroyed (just like the guy in this video). Reebok used to be that way as well but have since widened theirs over the past decade or two.
And it's not as though I buy wide versions of shoes, those are too roomy for me (brooks being a good example).
When I used to work in kitchens, the two most popular shoes were sketchers and Birkenstock because 1) they were comfortable for hours on your feet 2) they could take a beating 3) non-slip
True I wore sketchers for 8 years before knowing about barefoot shoes and I remember no shoes were fitting me beside skechers cause of my wide feet, I am size 12us 47eu 29cm
The reason I like Skechers is exactly what was found here: the comfort. They also make wide versions of nearly every shoe, which is a huge benefit. Plus, they make some of the best slip-ons with reinforced heels.
They definitely make some original designs, but I can't fault them for seeing something good and making a more comfortable yet cheaper competitor. Competition is good for us, the consumer.
Love their slip-ins! Wearing a pair now.
Comfort and price is what I find good about Sketchers and like all shoe if you wear them enough they wear out no matter how high you put on the price which doesn't justify it in my opinion.
Skechers step ins are the greatest thing ever. I will never wear another shoe through airport security.
That's how I came to know the brand. I tried some Adidas and Nikes, not convinced I tried Sketchers, and the difference on comfort was quite noticeable, price wise too lol
They’re thee only shoes I will buy. They provide good support and have helped with reducing foot and knee pain.
It kind of makes sense, some of these like the Reebok, adidas and Nike are classic models that haven’t been updated or changed in too many ways if at all, but when sketchers decided to copy those shoes and make their own version, they could add their latest comfort tech if they wanted since they weren’t just retroing a classic model.
I feel like brands should be making their retro releases more comfortable because why wouldn’t they want to?
They have been updated. Now the big brands use shitty materials so they can keep the price down. Most of the classic models are way less comfortable now then they were in the past.
@debusen81 because they want to keep the price down and people are still going to buy them.
@TheGnariman😂 you’re not lying
Except "their tech" is rip-off Boost, React & Fresh foam. They actually invent Nothing!
My dad have 16 years old Skechers and they still alive
That's super fortunate. A lot of the times, they move manufacturing to different locations (like China, Vietnam, etc) and the quality literally falls off a cliff. Sketchers are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned, and I still buy them, but their durability and longevity is basically non-existent. I've never had a pair of sketchers last me more than a year, ever (and I've owned around ~11 pairs now). It seems right about the 10-12 month mark, they completely fall apart (sole starts coming off the rest of the shoe, etc). It kind of reminds me of Rockport. I purchased a pair right before they were bought by Adidas and they were manufactured in Hungary. After they were bought by Adidas, they moved manufacturing to China and the quality plummeted. I still have & wear my Rockport shoes, they're now 21 years old. They *CAN* build shoes that last a long time, they just choose not too. If your shoes last you 20 years, you're not going to be buying another pair for a while.
Sketchers are very comfy. They also have great outlet sales. Not trendy but comfy well made shoes for people on a budget.
They don't last long though.
@Drownedinblood Tbh, what lasts long nowadays? Everything is made like crap.
@匿名的-1 My watch.
@DrownedinbloodWaches wont look good in the foot i guess? 🤔
I concur.
Their Go Walk slip-ons are comfy as heck and easy to put on. Perfect for those with mobility issues or the elderly.
That's what I've been using for 2 years now and I don't plan to buy anything else 😅
I know basically nothing about sneaker trends these days, but I went in to a shoe store the other week and left with two pairs of Sketchers simply because they were the only ones that fit my wide feet without putting pressure on my toes. And yes, they are still just as comfy
100% the main reason I own 6 pairs of Sketchers!
Yes, i bought a pair in Kyoto, Japan. Unfortunately, in my country, wide feet models are not available. All shoes should be wide feet, The traditional shoe shapes just not for human feet!
@ZxSpectrumplus Shoes used to always come in various widths. Seems like most no longer do that.
@williampotter2098 I've compared shoes marked as being different widths and found some brands there is little or no difference. In some brands, all shoe widths are built on the same sole.
Skechers advertises having a special line of wide shoes. I have a difficult time finding shoes to fit my wide feet and have been wanting to try them. Thanks for sharing your info.
"As you can see, he can't" Gold lol
I never noticed Skechers were copycats. $100 is not a cheap shoe. They managed to charge 2x-3x what no-name Amazon Chinese sneakers cost and people willingly pay it. I HAVE noticed that the Skechers my wife and kids have owned wear out quickly. The soles are made of soft foam so they wear down quick and are slippery compared to more rubberized soles.
I used to wear sketchers as a kid, but I can't stand sketchers anymore since I got more seriously into running. I really hate the soft foams while running. Stiffer foams feel way more responsive. Sketchers are nothing more than glorified work shoes IMO. They're decent at that at least. I'm not even sure if the sketchers would survive my half marathon trail runs I do for training. 😂
You need to get the Sketchers that has those black rubber on the soles, rather than the ones with full foams. Full outsole foams wear out very quickly, the rubber doesn't.
@Male_Parent That's true. Sketchers is more of a walking shoe, i.e. the one you get when you're doing a road trip to Europe.
It all depends on the shoe. I still wear ones I've had for years and only have to change the insole, but will agree many are not made as well as they used to be.
I expect that will get worse now that Sketchers was bought by another company.
I have been wearing Skechers for about 20 years now. I love the arch support and the memory foam insoles. I have worn Nike and New Balance and recently bought a pair of Hoka to see what all the fuss was about. I still prefer Skechers and will be trying their OnCloud knockoff next.
It is an achievement when many doctors recommend Skechers for comfort. So, well, They are doing the basics right at least.
Elliot you should have given him one time BOTH of the same shoes 😂
Diabolical lol
As a customer, thank you ! For making such an honest video. No jargons, no fancy adjectives. Just raw opinion based on experience.
The comfort ‘Skechers’ offers is actually unmatched, all the people around me from a generation before wouldn’t prefer any other brand and it is surprisingly very durable.
I found the tread wears down quickly on sketchers. Going to try a different model.
i've had 3 pairs of sketchers so far. two lasted over 6 years and i have my most recent pair for a year. quite durable. i love them
As a non-sneaker head, I had *NO* idea that Skechers were a "dupe" brand. I thought they were just another shoe brand. I recently bought my first pair of Skechers and now I wonder what dupe I'm wearing! Are *ALL* Skechers shoes dupes? Or just most? Or just some? Had no idea. Would it stop me from ever buying another Skechers shoe? Meh, not really.
I'm in the same boat, this video just turned up in my recommendations and it came as a bit of a surprise as well. I can vouch for their comfort though, I use one of their Go Walk Slip In models as my daily and it legitimately feels like I'm walking on clouds. I will say one downside as other commenters have pointed out is that the soles do wear down quite quickly, which is a shame and I do hope they fix that.
@Qwurty566 This video showed up randomly in my recommendations, too. I'll be sure to keep an eye and see how long my soles last with these shoes.
Sketchers walking shoes are unique ever since they advertise it in my country and no other brand has that, comfy and easy to wear. Running shoes are pretty much all the same to me for all brand who cares which one originally did the design as long as its comfortable and the price is good.
same here, I thought it should be a decent brand, didn't know they actually "copy" so many of others' design. Such a let down on that part.
Not all Skechers are dupes. Go Walk is their very OG model and the fact it was duped so many times by other brands
I’m glad you didn’t reveal the answer until the very end, I feel a lot of times with blind tests it becomes a game of reverse psychology like “well if it was Left this time, then maybe the Right could be it this time”
thisss! 💯
0:28 I concur he is average
I have two pairs of Skechers and I must say, when I bought them 4 years back, everywhere I heard ... it's for grannies .... but you know what? They are still comfy and durable as hell, they still go after 4 years :D
My Sketchers completely fell apart after just 6 months. Worst shoe I ever had aside from the out of the gate comfort. Shoes of other brands, that I'm used to, typically need to be broken in a couple of days to reach the maximum comfort level. But when they are, most of them surpass the Sketchers comfort, which only went down from when I bought them.
"For grannies" means you don't run in them or do other sports. It's not performance shoes.
I have the same experience with you! I barely buy shoes because my Skechers last so long, at least 3-4 years or more. And when it does start showing signs of wear and the sole starts to separate, I can still put it back with some shoe glue and make it last another 1-2 years. I've tried wearing other shoe brands, Nike Adidas New Balance On.. but at the end of the day, if I know I need to travel or walk for a long time like at least 12,000-20,000 steps or more, I will always choose to wear my Skechers! While my friends are wearing another brand and suffering from foot pain by the time we hit 8k-10k steps, I could still walk just fine. And by the evening, I don't have any foot pain at all. I love Skechers!
4 years for sneakers ? Wow . I walk so much a physical therapist I know told me that my shoes should Never have an anniversary .
Yeah, I don't know why people acting like Skechers fall apart easily. What are they doing with their shoes? Digging a hole?
Also some of my Skechers shoes were pretty durable in comparison to some branded ones.
I did not know anything about the Sketches business model but after wearing Reboks and Nikes for 20+ years, I went on a Sketchers store last year and left with 2 pairs of very, very, very comfortable shoes. I thought I would always by Sketchers from that time on. And I still like the shoes but It was very interesting learning about them.
This test would not work too well for me because my feet are different and one gets pain while the other doesn't. But i think it's a nice demonstration anyway.
Light up light up sketchers they say, honestly sketchers are one of the most comfortable sneakers I've ever tried.
Sketcher se ha convertido en el nuevo Ocean Pacific
I didn't know Sketchers just copy designs, but this video just motivated me to check them out.
I may have to try Skechers in place of my next pair of Hoka
Skechers be like: designing is for noobs, we do tech
My wife got heel injury after using a branded shoe for her recreational running. She tried using sketchers and she never used any brand of shoes. That now goes for the whole family. Skechers comfort is unmatched for it's price. From 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I've never went out of my way to get Skechers, but somehow, I have like 6 or 7 pairs of them. They are definitely comfortable shoes and I've been attracted to the styling, not really paying attention to the fact that they may be a knock-off. I once bought a pair of Hoka, just because I really liked the styling - and as it turned out it was the most uncomfortable shoe I've ever owned. I wore them for a few hours at a family event, and my arches were raw. I returned them - and never again will I buy them. I have one pair of Under Armor, 2 pairs of Vans (which are very comfortable) - and I have 2 pair of Saucony hiking shoes which super-comfortable and, IMHO, are unbeaten for casual hiking, however, for everyday just knocking around, I'm in my Skechers. Love them.
Def need a part two for new releases
People hate on Skechers but their GoWalk line is some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever put on my feet.
Regular people associate soft sole = comfortable. But it’s actually horrible for you in long run. It has lack of stability. Big brands can make softer sole, but they don’t. Bcs it’s not good actually
Only those with Goga Mat soles. The Memory foam soles are far too slippery to be confortable.
Yea got one and all I can say is the comfort level is better than on shoes and asics kayano 14’s or their 1130’s
'm 36 years old and have never been a fan of sports shoes-mostly because my feet tend to get sweaty. But ever since I started taking long metro rides to the office, I figured it was time to prioritize comfort and invest in a pair.
I visited five different showrooms-Reebok, Adidas, Woodland, Puma, and finally Skechers. Despite Skechers being the most expensive, I just couldn’t stop thinking about them. I eventually bought a pair, and after wearing them for a few days, I was genuinely impressed: super comfortable and, surprisingly, no sweaty feet! I was so satisfied, I went back and bought another pair.
In my experience, Sketchers Air shoes are very comfy, but also kinda not durable. They wear out in a year and a half on average, but also keep in mind that I wear them around 8 months per year on average. They really are worth your money.
love, love, love the Sketchers Slip Ons....omgosh, there the best and now that just came out with an actual slipper....my feet have never been happier
Neat video Eliot! But I was hopping you would have done a reversal round. Like, you switch with Dylan after and you try on the shoes blind folded would have been neat. Also, I love your ensemble today!
I have been watching you on and off for almost 4 or five years now. I can’t remember the first video I watched but I think you only had 25,000 subs and maybe 2-3 years before‘the bug’ hit. I wouldn’t consider myself a sneakerhead by any means but out of the shoe reviewers, I enjoy your and Seth Fowler’s videos in terms of shoe reviews.
I hope you will do more videos like this in the near future and test more 3D printed shoes. I am excited for more videos!
We need more of this kind of videos.
15:47 a little bit addition: it's actually mainly for people who seeks comfort. i live in a third world country (but has one of the biggest population in the world) where sneaker hype wasn't as big, so whenever I asked people of all ages on what shoe brand they would choose and why, 90% would answer "Skechers, because comfy" in a heartbeat.
Third world country but has one of the biggest population that most of them extensively wear skechers
+62 kah ? 😄😄
i was like "meh, maybe a marketing gimmick", but Skechers end up being the first genuine article i bought after trying one because its like they put the comfiest foam ever.
Warga +62 😂
Pasti orang konoha nih
Nothing wrong with comfort😂
we all buying sketchers with this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥
if you try sketchers slip-ins you will wish that all other sneakers have that system! it's that good , and that simple! and comfort is really great, as you can see in this video!
So I have heard sneakers comfort is great, but durability is actually below average. What's your opinion?
@javiersilva1577i can comment from my side, having them for about 7 months. Washed them 3 or 4 times in the washing machine. Everything is ok! I am on a heavier side…. My son, he was4 and 5 at the time, 3 years ago, had them for two years and they didnt broke. He used them heavily..
Skechers are the most comfortable brand of trainer I've ever worn. Working on my feet all day and the memory foam, extra chsioning lightweight makes a big difference
So I just bought my first pair of Skechers in Jan 2025. I was with my 4yr old son at an obstacle course in an outlet mall, my 7 yr old Adidas fell apart I guess from old age even though they looked brand new. I needed shoes ASAP and the Skechers store was right next to the obstacle course, I went and bought a pair of the slip on ones. Now it's June and I have a total of 4 pairs. I use them as my daily drivers when I have to walk/play a lot with my 4 yr old. I still have my Nike's, Adidas, Reebok's, Timberlands etc for going out. But for my day to day you can't beat the comfort and convenience of the slip on style sneakers of Skechers. They don't look great but they don't need to they are my "dad shoes".
Same here. I just got my first pair while on vacation. Wanted something to walk around comfortable and my kid needed new shoes. We were by the Sketchers stores and while we waited for his shoes I started looking around and saw a few good looking styles and decided to try one. Left with a pair on and threw my Nikes in the bag. Never thought I’d see myself wearing sketchers. 😂
wait on the third skechers vs crocs test why are there two different shoes when he is walking but you put the same ones in the clips when showing them off?
All i can say i have been wearing skechers for years. Skechers are good comfort walking shoes BUT i often feel fatigue after walking 5000 steps and beyond.
Skechers is a good comfort shoes but lack the support for running or long distance walking.
So if i choose to run, i would still choose a nike, asics or hoka or whatever. These shoes actually support me well beyond.
Been wearing sketchers for five years now! They are so comfortable I wouldn't by the other brands even if they were priced the same!
15:40 I'll tell you the real reason, the one and only real reason. Comfort. I know about all these other shoes and I got the money for em. It's just purely about comfort. I would pay $20 more for Sketchers over Nike, contingent on the Sketchers being similar good looking and more comfortable.
Would love an under armour vs sketchers comparison! I have On shoes and they are great but my long time go to prior to On was under armour
Love this kind of content Elliott!
My next pair of sneakers will definitely be sketchers. THANKS
Undoubtedly, Sketchers have the upper hand as per comfort, I can attest to that, however they have two major drawbacks, which are their durability and the quality of their soles. I'm not really that versed in fabrics, so, maybe -and just maybe- the other brand's shoes feel stiffer because their fabrics are more resistant. On the other hand, their soles are incredibly slippery when wet. I'm surprised they haven't been sued by injured people due to the lack of grip of their shoes.
I had my Skechers arch fit for years, it's not slippery when wet plus the sole is collab with Goodyear. Good for heavy duty use. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it in stores anymore. seems like it's already phased out.
Could you list the models of each respective brand that was used in the comparison?
I didn't like Skechers in the past... i only had Nike, Hoka, Adidas, UA... til i got a pair for my wife and she made me try a pair... Now i have 5... we choose comfy before anything...
Its also interesting to do an original and an OEM blind fold test.
I’ve been wearing Sketchers for almost 15 years. Tennis shoes, running shoes, golf shoes, hiking shoes, pickleball shoes, and casual knock-arounds. Over the years they have constantly and consistently upgraded their fit and comfort. IMO, you cannot go wrong with a pair of Skechers.
One note, I am a brand name shoe companies worst nightmare… I do not give a royal rip which athlete or famous influencer has their name on a shoe. In point of fact I avoid those shoe like the plague as I know they will be horribly overpriced.
Excellent video and a great, inadvertent, add for Skechers!
do you have any friends?
You should make more of this content as these type of videos get the most views on your channel
Skechers are hands down the most comfortable shoes I have owned. Unpretentious and utilitarian, I always go for their models that use GOGAMAT and never go for their MEMORY FOAM models. It's just a world of difference and Gogamat is what makes Skechers. I have purchased many different styles of Skechers since 2012 where they had "chelsea" styles and other styles that have since been removed from their lineup. Bought them where I could find them in Manila, Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Phnom Penh, Vancouver....from beach slippers, chelseas, lace up sneakers, golf shoes and their usual slip ons. I am happy to see from this great video by Elliot that Skechers are coming up with or "copying" more styles now as there was a couple of years when their lineup was dreary and seemed to be a dying brand with retail outlets closing etc.....I'm glad they are back with a vengeance.
would you go lassy go!! that soundtrack from sinners was peak
Thanks, Im gonna cop one of those Max cushioning Skechers.
Really thank you for this topic, blind test is so honest and tell the feeling from heart.
We need more brands like Skechers.
They're bringing real value to society by calling the bluff on branded shoes. That's definitely liberation.
They do have to get ready to be sued because Skechers is infamous for copying.
Skechers is a putrid garbage brand. Their only plan is copy and steal.
Skechers disintegrate after a month. Better off getting a pair of last years new balance if your price conscious
Yes let some other company do the R&D and then just steal their work. Great business model.
Excelente video...Que bueno que tu hermano te apoye...Dios los Bendiga
Make "long wear test" like 5k steps, 10k steps, 25k steps if there is any difference. Will be bit subjective but would be fun to know how the handle usage. I personally feel that some major brand models have been cheapened out on. I have AF1 from 07 that feel much better than AF1 from 2020+
this is the most fair test ive seen on yt, no sarcasim
Skechers are comfortable but not durable. I love their extra width options.
Stuff like this is actually useful sneaker content. I'd love to see blind tests of current 'most comfortable' popular shoes
I'm 67 years old and own four Skechers pairs: Andes, Go Run Premier 2.0 Vantage, Go Walk 6 series Avalon, and Bold Knight. In addition, I have one pair of Hoka Bondi 8, New Balance 1080 V14, New Balance Arishi V4, and Onitsuka Tiger GSM SD each. Each pair has its own strengths and weaknesses. I place a higher value on comfort than on appearance.
What a great idea for a comparison video :) Nice job guys!
what a cool experiment, thanks for the awesome video
That detail about the BW Armies being too narrow helps alot since I spent a whole day trying on different brands GATs at the mall. Guess I’m buying placers
amazing content!
as a consumer who just want a good product not brand this will help me a lot when choosing the next casual shoes
one step up from the safety squint is the safety blindfold.
They are very comfortable and have quite an ok longevity if you take care of them. If comfort is your main concern then they are good shoes.
They don't last very long if you abuse / harsh using it.
From my personal experience.
Never thought I'd find myself smiling during a shoe review. Great chemistry
Sketchers has some "specialties" that i like. For example my new pair of Skechers Slip-ins RF: Revolted - Merrick Trekkingsandals. The easy Slip-in was the USP for me.
I don't care if they copy with their other shoes - i buy these really special ones (that are no copies at all as far as i know), and otherwise i only buy Nike. Just got me some Air Max Dn8, a pair of Air Max 97 By You and Air Max Plus By You...
Great fun video guys. I love my Skechers.
Older I get the more comfortable sketchers gets. I tried their work shoes with carbon fiber toe and found myself wearing them more often than steel toes. So much so that the inner memory foam sole was worn down.
Just say that Skechers are for people that don't know sneakers is ridiculous. Especially in this comparison video the Skechers that are more comfortable and look virtually the same that are in some cases half the price, if you pay double for a less comfortable sneaker that looks the same, do you really know sneakers? You know how to be a poser, you know how to waste money you know how to feel better because you bought a certain name brand, but it doesn't really say you know anything about footwear really kind of the opposite.
Dylan makes me wanna try out the Hoka counterfeit so bad.
Can we please get links to all the Skechers in this video, I'm perfect budget pricing but quality products and have been looking for some nice shoes for my wife and I for everyday use and workouts. Great video btw!
You should check them after 100 km walk test, if it's still feel the same
Bape walked so sketchers could run 😂
You have that the other way around.
Wrong. Skechers (La Gear) did it first
I have shoe wideners that I can use to make shoes wider for my wide feet. Skechers does make some shoes that are wide enough and comfortable for me without the wideners.
Skechers are not really that cheap, like everyone always claims. But correct- they are better than the other brands in every single way, especially fit and comfort.
Better in every way? Hardly but you drink that kool-aid
some of the models, usually the single or two tone B&W colored ones are always offered as a discount which makes it really cheap compared to the others.
In Europe they are literally half the price of competitors most of the time. Sadly, at least in my experience, the quality of the shoe reflects that. They maximize for how comfortable the shoe feels when you're trying them on, but it's all downhill after the purchase. The comfort gets worse over time, instead of improving like it typically does for other brands, and they fall apart after a few months of usage.
@markuskonrad6049 few months of continous or non-athletic (and not daily walker) usage?
I walked daily like 30 minutes and so does my family and my family had their skechers, although worn, still held up well for 8 years.
I walked just occassionally but my skechers, although a bit dusty, still held up well in year 2, though i sometimes switched up with a glued-on and insole-added Airwalk slip ins.
What a good video the results were mad....mind blown 🤯
I bought Sketchers because they are cheap. They were comfortable but did cause some foot and knee aches after a real test of wearing for the entire workout (run or walk). Then I paid more for original - less aches and pains. The real test is not a 1 minute walk on a treadmill but a real 30 or 60 min, or however long, your normal workout is.
Watching this while walking the treadmill wearing - Skechers!
Skechers cater well to the wide foot people.
What's that Hoka knockoff/upgrade model called?
I wonder how they would compare after wearing for a few days. The Hoka Bondi, I'd be willing to bet, would be better in the long run. Though I certainly enjoy my SlipIns as does my wife. I think they’ve come a long way over the years and their walking and running shoes are quite good and not that cheap.
Yup. i own Skechers slip-ins too. It's a comfy walking shoes but when i tried it for long distance walking, my feet felt fatigue after 5k steps. After that i choose hoka for long distance running and walking and it supports me way better.
Both serves different purposes.
I think it's funny that the Skechers were the "bargain" shoe, even though they were $130. I usually try to get something in the $45 to $80 price range. I try to catch sales, where the $90-$100 shoe is on sale for $70-80 or the $80 sneaker is on sale for $60-65.
I'm wearing some right now... comfortable too! 👍🏾
1:19 The time i aged above 30, i preferred skechers for my feet. Bought one shown here in the time stamp and it's perfect. No regrets.
Do they slip on with no hands? 🤞
I legit recently bought some skechers glide step pros and had no idea they were modeled from a brand called "On" which i never heard of until now lol
Am I the only one who saw this video and thought I should find a Skechers version of my original shoes and wear them?
❤Listen to your guilty pleasure. Try it even once.
Whats interesting is the addidas comparison in the 4th test is actually a copy of Masion Margelia shoes called Gats which are quite expensive but almost sure that the sketchers are just as if not more comfortable than the gats
Sketchers vs Hokas was initially a Sketchers win in comfort but if I’m walking awhile, they don’t hold up. They’re good dupes for about 10-20 minutes, but not for my feet for long walks/days on my feet and runs. Hoka wins long time frames because the Sketchers support died really quickly (and painfully in my case)
totally agree
i love my skechers for short walk but for a long day walk my feet tends to hurt later cuz the cushion becomes too soft
Me too. I tried Skechers, Hoka, and On Cloud shoes. I ended up choosing Hoka Project Transport and On Cloud 5 waterproof shoes, having worn them alternatively for a year. They are pretty stable and comfortable shoes, and suitable for long walks and standing all day.
agree. Sketchers shoes always give very good impressions initially, which result in making a sale. I bought a pair due to that, and the midsole collapsed after 8 months of running. Durability is an issue, considering the price isn't much lower
After trying Hokas I just gave up trying "cushion and support" and got Five Fingers lol. No matter how much cushion and comfort I've tried nothing really fits properly.
I'm on my third pair of Hoka's and my wife has a pair, they take hundreds of thousands of steps before they wear out and they are incredibly light. Won't be switching to any other brand anytime soon.
I love the sketchers collab with Snoop Dog. They made an old school convers shoe and it’s great.
The Skechers slant is what bothered me the most and the only reason I stopped using Skechers. Glad someone else experienced it too, I thought I was the only one.
A bit too sketchy hey?
sketchers started as orthopedic shoes, your feet might be busted
@tehevilengineer7939 my feet are cooked just like me. how're you going bro?
The slant is the only reason I can’t wear sketchers, too! I have never heard anyone else mention it until now.
@jewelsbarbie what do you reckon is the reason for this slant? feet pronation?
waiting for an evo sl sketchers lol
I'm a 50 year old Nurse that works 12 hour shifts. I only wear Dansko clogs and Sketchers!! I believe my first pair of clogs were Sketchers! I'm at work, I'll take comfort over fashion, however Sketchers make good looking shoes that won't break the bank. I usually switch them out every 6 months or so...I've probably owned over a dozen pairs!
Great video mate!
Plus you're 50 so you don't need to worry about fashion. As we age more, the less we care about fashion and more on actual necessities
